Adipose Tissue as an Endocrine Organ [PDF]
, 2018 As one of the largest endocrine organs in the body, adipose tissue secrets a number of bioactive hormones, called adipokines. The expression and secretion of adipokines are tightly controlled and coordinated by physiological and pathophysiological ...

Towards clinical translation of upscaled osteogenic grafts using human adipose tissue progenitors [PDF]
, 2012 Tissue engineering is an emerging strategy in medical field that focuses on regeneration or replacement of lost or damaged tissue and organs. Most of the tissues in human body have no or limited self renewal and regeneration potential which decrease with

Macrophage VLDLR mediates obesity-induced insulin resistance with adipose tissue inflammation
Nature Communications, 2017 VLDLR regulates cellular lipoprotein uptake and storage. Here, the authors show that VLDLR, expressed on adipose tissue macrophages, is upregulated in obesity and promotes adipose tissue inflammation by upregulating ceramide production and facilitating ...

LLC tumor cells-derivated factors reduces adipogenesis in co-culture system
Heliyon, 2018 Cancer cachexia (CC) is a multifactorial syndrome with an unknown etiology. The primary symptom is the progressive reduction of the body weight. Recently, down-regulation of adipogenic and lipogenic genes were demonstrated to be early affected during ...

Leptin, Adiponectin, and Other Adipokines in Regulation of Adipose Tissue Angiogenesis [PDF]
, 2013 Adipose tissue plays an important endocrine role through the production of secreted factors, termed adipokines. These include hormones such as leptin, adiponectin, resistin, omentin, apelin, and vaspin; classical cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α,

The defense of adipose tissue against excess substrate-induced hyperthrophia: Immune system cell infiltration and arrested metabolic activity [PDF]
, 2011 Obesity, the excessive accumulation of body fat, is a main defining feature of the metabolic syndrome, and overweight is often an early indication of the future severity and development of associated pathologies.
